Charles Luther "Luke" Kile, was born on July 26, 1988, at Ozarks Medical Center, West Plains, Missouri, to Sandra Diana Kile and Danny Sylvester Basham. He entered Heaven at 4:14 a.m. on September 15, 2021. Luke's greatest accomplishment in life was being a father to Brileigh Elizabeth "Baby Bear" Kile from a previous marital union with Hannah Lunyou.

In 2009, Luke found the love of his life, Andrea Nicole Iler. They were married on November 15, 2013, at Rocky Creek, Missouri. At that time his family became complete with the addition of Nickolas Blake and Addison Faye, the children of his heart.

Luke was preceded in death by his grandparents, Kenneth and Juanita Kile, and Jack and Bertha Basham; six uncles, Jimmy Kile, Red Kile, Daniel D'Angelo, Ron Basham, Truman Basham, and Jerry Basham; two aunts, Sharon D'Angelo and Norma Basham; one cousin, Richard Baker; and best friend/cousin, Caitlin Kile.

He leaves behind his loving wife, Andrea; two daughters, Brileigh Elizabeth and Addison Faye; one son, Nickolas Blake; parents, Sandra Kile and Danny Basham; two brothers, Rondal Kile (Melissa) and Danny Scott Basham (Karen); one sister, Sonya Vermillion (Brock); his girls, Michaela Kile (Cameron) and Caillie Rhodes (Lucas); Aunt Janet and Uncle Danny; four nieces, Olivia Tuttle (Waylon), Caitlyn Basham (Danny), Danny Ann Kile, and Jemma Diana Kile;  four nephews, Steve Voyles (Delhia), Brandon Voyles (Sara), Chaise Vermillion, and Blake Lynn Kile; aunts and uncles, Leanne Conway (Carlos), Bernie Kile (Patty), Debbie Votaw (Pete), Peggy Kile, Mike Kile (Debbie), Jack Basham (Carol), and Phyliss Baker; great-nieces, Blair and Tymber; and many cousins, great-cousins, and scores of friends, buddies, and brothers.

Luke Graduated from Winona High School in 2006. He was a mechanic by trade, owning and operating his shop, Brother's Garage in Eminence, Missouri.

He had many hobbies, and one of his great loves was hot rods and racing. His dream was to own and restore a 1955 Chevy Bel-Air 2 door post. Luke was a rooster man, and had fine-tuned his breeding and could tell you a bloodline from across the yard. Some of his most relaxing moments were in his chicken yard.

Most important to Luke was his family, "his bread and butter." He enjoyed Sunday dinner at his momma's and any other family gathering. He was a big teddy bear, and his kindness was known by all who encountered him. His absence leaves a huge hole in our family. Some of Luke's final words were, "I am in God's hand and He has taken away my fear." He will be missed by all who loved him, until we can see him again.

Funeral services will be held at 10:00 a.m. Saturday, September 25, 2021, at Yarber Mortuary, Winona, Missouri with Pastor Rockie Dailey officiating.  Visitation will be held Friday, September 24, 2021, from 6-8:00 p.m., also at the funeral home.  Interment will be in Horner Cemetery, Winona, Missouri.
